24.01.2022 An injured immature tooth may need one of the following procedures to improve the chances of saving the tooth: Apexogenesis This procedure encourages the root to continue development as the pulp is healed. Soft tissue is covered with medication to encourage growth. The tip of the root (apex) will continue to close as the child gets older. In turn, the walls of the root canal will thicken. If the pulp heals, no additional treatment will be necessary. The more mature the root b...ecomes, the better the chance to save the tooth. Apexification In this case, the unhealthy pulp is removed. The doctors place medication into the root to help a hard tissue form near the root tip. This hardened tissue provides a barrier for the root canal filling. At this point, the root canal walls will not continue to develop, making the tooth susceptible to fractures. So it is important to have the tooth properly restored by your dentist. #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

24.01.2022 It's not all about root canal, there are other treatments done by endodontists such as: ** Endodontic retreatment which is needed when a previous root canal treatment fails or the tooth develops new problems. ** Saving a tooth that has been dislodged or completely knocked out of its socket because of trauma or injury. A dislodged tooth can be repositioned and possibly stabilized by splinting it to adjacent teeth, after which root canal therapy is done. The tooth can then heal... and tighten in its socket. ** Endodontic surgery in cases where traditional root canal therapy cannot save a tooth. This includes procedures such as an apicoectomy, which is done to remove the apex (end) of the tooth root when the presence of calcium deposits or accessory canals would otherwise prevent a successful outcome. #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

21.01.2022 There are many different types of cracked teeth, that can show a variety of symptoms, including erratic pain when chewing, possibly with release of biting pressure, or pain when your tooth is exposed to temperature extremes. In many cases, the pain may come and go, and your dentist may have difficulty locating which tooth is causing the discomfort. If you are experiencing these dental symptoms or suspect a cracked tooth, see an endodontist, who specializes in saving cracked t...eeth. The treatment and outcome for your tooth depends on the type, location and extent of the crack. If you think you have a cracked tooth, it’s important to seek treatment quickly, before the problem gets worse. Once treated, most cracked teeth continue to function and provide years of comfortable chewing. #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

18.01.2022 To diagnose whether or not you need a root canal, your dentist will need to determine if the pulp inside the tooth is dead or dying or if it’s possible that the pulp could recover. For other conditions, a doctor can give you a blood test and the results will come back either positive or negative. It’s not so cut and dried with root canals. Diagnosing whether you need a root canal does have a scientific basis but it can be a bit of an art form to find out how diseased the pulp... of the tooth is. This is why you really need someone who is experienced. A practitioner who rushes this process could choose the wrong treatment of the tooth. #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

15.01.2022 Despite the outdated jokes you may have heard, endodontic procedures (especially in the hands of a skilled specialist) involve minimal or no pain. Endodontists use state-of-the-art equipment like ultrasonic instruments that operate via high frequency vibration, fiber optic illuminators, and advanced microscope technology to find disease deep inside the tooth. This allows us to work accurately and efficiently while keeping you as comfortable as possible. We are committed to he...lping you keep your natural teeth and with proper care, most teeth that have had endodontic treatment can last a very long time even a lifetime :) #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth See more

10.01.2022 A great informative video! Learn how endodontists perform surgery to treat an abscess or infection and save your tooth. #northshoreendodontics #endodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

10.01.2022 A recent evidence-based study of teeth having a primary (first time) root canal treatment cited conditions that contributed to the success and longevity of root canal fillings. One was the absence of root canal infection that had spread into the bone in other words, the earlier the tooth is treated the better the outcome. So don’t put off treatment if you need it! Another was the quality of the root canal treatment itself. How quickly and effectively the damaged tooth was r...epaired after root canal treatment was completed was also a factor, meaning it’s important to have the tooth restored with a permanent filling or crown, which usually requires a second visit, without delay. #northshoreendodontics #endodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth See more

08.01.2022 A big question now in dentistry is, do you go right to the implant because it’s more predictable than a root canal? To make this decision, you need to ask your dentist about the predictability of success of a root canal. This is something that you, after you consider all the options for your unique case. If you talk to an endodontist, he/she will recommend doing the root canal. If you talk to an oral surgeon, he/she will recommend doing an implant.... All healthcare professionals tend to recommend things that we know more about and are more skilled in or comfortable with. Always keep in mind this inherent bias ;) #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

06.01.2022 Once you find out you need a root canal, it’s like a ticking time bomb, because the infection will eventually blow up. You’ll get more pressure and more swelling if you wait. You might get a bad taste in your mouth or might start to go numb. The infection could spread to more vulnerable tissues, like your heart. This is why people used to die of tooth infections hundreds of years ago. Your dentist will prescribe you antibiotics for the infection. Once you start taking antibio...tics, you’ve bought yourself four or five weeks. If you get on the antibiotics before the root canal is done, you’ll have less pain during the procedure because this will make it easier to get you numb. As soon as you find out you need a root canal, you need antibiotics right away. Don’t delay! It could turn into a life-threatening condition if you don’t. Yes, a tooth infection can kill you! #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth

04.01.2022 If you decide to go ahead with endodontic treatment, it may start immediately and could even finish in one appointment. When you go to see an endodontist, he or she will review your dental history and perform a thorough exam; diagnostic imaging and testing will be used help to identify the exact problem. After making a diagnosis, your endodontist will discuss the benefits, options, and risks involved, so you can understand how treatment can relieve your pain and save your too...th. #northshoreendodontics #specialistdentist #specialist #dentist #chatswood #rootcanal #savemytooth See more
